Avinash Gangu - PeerSpot reviewer
Centralizing database tables enhances workflow efficiency for ease of use
I was looking for some content as part of a comparison analysis. However, one of the pain points is that it is way too free-flowing. I have to skim through all the security pages to get to the crux of it. I was looking for a table that suggests which facets such services address with proofs of reference from professional conferences. The document is a 63-page read, making it very difficult to navigate without a summary. I was looking for a summary at the start, however, if I have to do it myself, I might as well integrate from AWS Docs and then Informative Exchange. The current document contains a lot of information, which is great, but there needs to be a summary indicating the story's essence. Unless there's a correction, it is not present in the document.
Vijay Subramanyam - PeerSpot reviewer
Robust, reliable, and stable, ensuring high availability for critical integrations
I would rate the scalability an eight out of ten; it is a highly scalable solution. We have around 200 end users using this solution in our company. We use it to its maximum capacity. However, it's not for P1 applications, but definitely for severity two cases (P2 level). It integrates critical applications, but it's not a platform that, if it stops, the entire system would come down. So, it's more like a severity two level. However, it has the potential to eventually become a P1 platform. Not exactly P1 applications, but a P1 platform. Because now we are still in the transition to migrate everything, all the integrations to Mule Anypoint Platform. But once it's done, then this platform becomes critical. Because even now, we have point-to-point connections.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I am very impressed by the scalability of AWS Database Migration Service."
"The product's initial setup phase was very easy."
"The process is now simplified because there won't be maintenance. Usually we can take a snapshot of the number I need. We can automate the backup snapshots and we can restore it very quickly. We get many benefits from the application."
"The solution is instantaneous. We can launch the service and reduce the end number of manpower."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"AWS Database Migration Service is good for smaller workloads and provides compatibility."
"It's scalable."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the one I use for report generation. The security risk is very low."
"It reduces manual loads in maintaining servers as it comes with the Cloud Hub feature."
"The platform's cloud integration capabilities are good."
"Initial setup was very straightforward. Deployment is a cakewalk."
"Whenever we need some support in our local language, we get it easily. They also have an office in Germany and if a person is unable to contact them by phone, they can go to the office in person."
"MuleSoft's integration with Salesforce products makes it a preferred choice for those setups."
"It is very easy to use for building connectors. It comes with a lot of connectors. For example, it has different adapters for NetSuite, which are very easy to use. It also has Salesforce connectors. The object store feature is also really easy to use. Mule Anypoint Platform is also good in terms of performance and how it is managed behind the scenes."
"The integration potential is excellent."
"It's easy to use and comes as a bundle package with the Anypoint Platform, removing the need for any complex setup."
 

Cons

"The names of the services need improvement since AWS doesn't indicate what the function of the product is presently. You need to read a lot to find the service that you want in the product."
"Whatever solution worked today can not be reused in the next migration."
"The live duplication has a delay of two minutes, which can be an issue."
"More endpoints need to be supported by AWS Database Migration Service. There's also a need for more control and transparency on the product, including better technical support."
"Database Migration Service could be more integrated. I think that it makes sense to add integration to these functions. For example, AWS Glue has a feature called Orchestrator to create data flows, and that's more straightforward."
"The performance of data migration could be smoother."
"As a solution, the better thing is if more platforms come with direct compatibility, like connecting to different data sources. The basic problem I faced the most was while transferring and reading data from Excel. So, one time, I found that all the components I had declared in my scripts were able to take it. And after some patching happens, it is not able to support that. Again, we need to update the version of Excel. So, it's not like a plug-in type place where you have done the solution and are confident that it will work. So, this is an area of improvement."
"There are a set of complexities and challenges when a user wants to integrate AWS products with Microsoft products."
"It doesn't work well when you try using it for the processing layer."
"The solution's pricing model is very strange, and it will be really expensive if you use APIs a lot."
"The initial setup should be made easy and the documentation should have some guidance."
"Price-wise, it is a good product since it is reasonably priced...Mule Anypoint Platform can get too complex for non-technical people."
"One area for improvement is the Community Hub or developer portal, which should be part of the base offering."
"Code quality, Code Security, SaaS, and DaaS security, can all be improved."
"The terms of use and how it's priced has become very difficult to manage, which is forcing us to look for alternatives already - and we haven't even been using it for that long just yet."
"The customer service is not good enough"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"AWS Database Migration Service is the least expensive solution, but is still expensive."
"In terms of pricing, I'd rate it an eight out of ten, considering it's a well-priced solution."
"AWS Database Migration Service is very inexpensive."
"Pricing for the solution is reasonable, but could still be reduced."
"The pricing is per hour, though I do not have the exact figures. If you have specific questions about the service, a personal support team from Amazon is available, but this will bring in additional costs."
"For Egypt, the product's prices are high, making it a specific problem in one region and not globally."
"Cost is the only factor that is challenging."
"Pricing can be improved."
"The product comes complete at one set price including support."
"The tool is heavily bundle-priced. I rate the solution’s pricing five on a scale of ten, where one is expensive, and ten is cheap."
"The licensing is core-based. My customers tell me that it's very expensive compared to the cost of other integration suites."
"The solution has a high price."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing as four or five out of ten."
"Mule Anypoint Platform is affordable."
"I can't give you a straightforward answer because sometimes it depends on the usage. If you're going to have fewer than 5 million messages, it is free of cost. If you're going to have more than 5 million messages, they're going to charge $100 per month"
"I rate the product price a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
